Answers
The famous proverb 'Pen is Mightier than the Sword' was first written by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, which later became highly popular across the world. Everyone knows that a sword is a weapon with sharp edge while pen is a writing instrument with no edge. But the power of the pen is extremely greater than a sword. What a sharp edge of a sword can't achieve; can easily be achieved with the help of a tiny tip of a pen.
A pen can accomplish a lot more than a sword. It indicates that the power of writing is eternal, while the power of the sword is ꜱʜᴏʀᴛ-ʟɪᴠᴇᴅ.
While a pen and sword cannot be compared because pen is used for writing purposes and sword is used for fighting purposes. But the writer through the proverb Pen is Mightier than the Sword, intends to say that the power and strength of writing is mightier and stronger than the influence of war. A war is always destructive and ends lives. Sword can only kill and thus result into defeat, loss and death. Even though, one party in the war may win but the loss of several lives is the ultimate loss of even the winning party; whereas writing is harmony, peace and it is priceless. Books written with pen give us education, knowledge and wisdom which remain with us forever. We can never pay back for the tales and stories told to us in our childhood by our grandparents, parents. teachers, etc for those stories taught us lesson which we preserve for our lifetime.
